    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Is that within one's control though? How can you 'remember' something? If you do - it was pure luck - you can't 'force' yourself to remember something can you? Anymore than you can force yourself to forget something. Thoughts just appear in your head right? There's no way you can know what...

    Doh. It's low skilled workers from within Europe we will be able to block once we're out.

    It works here too. We have to shape up and do what we do best - not try to compete with people who can do that stuff for way cheaper. Do you really think China's recent economic expansion has hurt us? No. Of course not. We stopped trying to compete manufacuring wigets and the like - and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There's enthusiasm from poor people. Poor people don't give a flying **** about some trace amounts of chlorine in chicken - poor people are the ones who will benefit most from Brexit - cheaper clothes and shoes and loads of other BASIC stuff. But no - the rich don't like their cartels messed...

    Great. So we buy from them and some UK industries go bust. Excellent. That's how the market works - FOR THE CONSUMER. And those people in the UK then go work for MORE EFFICIENT local businesses in the UK that produce things at better value than anybody else. This is basic capitalism and is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Capitalism is what's dragged China and now Africa and most of Asia out of extreme poverty in the last 40 years - and dragged us out of all that a century or so earlier. Get with the plot and stop thinking your stupid socialism will produce anything other than various versions of Venezuela...

    You're right Tom. I do have much to learn. Have a nice Xmas.

    Which is how come even if it has to come from zillions of miles away it still works out cheaper than stuff from France. Once out of the EU we'll be able to get WAY cheaper stuff from the US and Chile and NZ and all sorts of places. If we ever leave I should say. Which I now seriously doubt...

    Sure. 'Ordinary' people. One of their demands is for minimum pensions of..... wait for it.......... 1200 Euros a month!!!! As Thatcher said - 'Socialism is great until you run out of other people's money'.

    Ha. So this is funny. Before anybody has responded to this question - one person (God knows who) - clicked on 'disagree' making the 'disagree' icon show up red with a tick. How can one 'disagree' with a question? I have much to learn about being here.

    OK. Serious question. Do you really believe there are 'a lot' of people 'here' who can't afford wine? I'm not sure by 'here' if you mean this list or the UK so if you could clarify that. And I'm not sure what you think you need to pay for a half-decent bottle of wine (but I never spend more...

    Which - my friend - is why I put 'fresh' in inverted commas. As you were.

    Probably - seeing as we won't be importing cheap labour like we used to.

    I'm having that wonderful feeling you get when you consider the possibility that you're not alone in the universe.

    Me thinks it was a bit more than joining the EU that got us out of the cr** we were in. Like Thatcher. Like the liberalisation globally of markets and capital. But heck. You're on a roll Flecc keep going.

    'Narrowest of margins'? Huh? 1,269,501 more votes in the biggest turn out of voters this country has EVER seen!!!!!!

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The silent majority as I like to say. Who would have thought - before the vote - that it would have been won by 'Leave'? Not me! I was utterly convinced it would go to 'Remain'. I even put some money on it. Which I was happy to lose. Like the silent majority of people who think the...
